Charity Quilts

I'm finally taking a little time to post pictures of the two charity quilts I was able to complete recently. I hadn't necessarily planned to make two quilts (a third is in the works as well), but after I made a mistake and cut the batting too small to allow me to quilt the first one during a charity quilt work day, I started on the others and well, that's how things snowball, isn't it?

Both are quilts from the Atkinson Designs' Yellow Brick Road pattern and used fat quarters from my stash. The border for the purple quilt was left over from a baby quilt I made last summer. Always nice to use up some of the stash, and hopefully some young child and teenage girl enjoy receiving these quilts. Our guild's charity this year was the Child Protection Center of the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, which protects children from abuse and provides resources to help them heal.

No comments:

I've been quilting since early 2000 and enjoy nearly all types of quilts. I do not, however, do much applique, although I may work to change that. I also enjoy other crafts, cooking, reading and running half marathons.
